Hello, 1983

Chapter 16 Why Apologize?

Following the little nurse, Liu Qingshan came all the way to Thomas's ward.

This should be a high-ranking ward in the hospital. Not to mention the single room, Liu Qingshan even saw a very rare refrigerator in the room.

Thomas was standing at the dining table and looked over cheerfully: Dear Liu, I don't mind if I invite you to have a pleasant lunch together.

How could Liu Qingshan, who just ate two steamed buns, mind when he saw the shiny ham on the table?

Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Thomas.

Thomas waved his hand and smiled: A true friend in adversity. Liu, we are true friends!

Yes, according to our Huaxia idiom, we can be considered life and death friends!

As Liu Qingshan spoke, he came to the front of the dining table and skillfully folded the napkin and placed it on his legs.

Thomas also sat down in the chair and nodded slightly when he saw Liu Qingshan acting calmly.

There is a proverb in their country: table manners start with the cloth napkin.

In the past few months, he has also eaten Western food with many people. When he saw many people tucked napkins on their chests, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Because in their place, only children eat, so they do this, so that the food does not splash on them.

But it would be a bit funny for adults to do the same.

Once he accepted an invitation from an engineer in the factory to be a guest at home.

During dinner, I saw that the engineer's little grandson, who was only two or three years old, had a similar thing around his neck.

Asked about it, it is said to be called bib.

Thomas understands: the root is here.

Looking at Liu Qingshan's pie now, it is obviously not the first time to eat Western food.

Nurse Li, who had a round face and big eyes, began to put tableware and knives and forks. When she came to Liu Qingshan, she glared at him with a threat in her eyes.

People at this time have never lacked a sense of justice. No matter what kind of work they are engaged in, they will regard themselves as the real masters.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan did not dislike this little nurse, but found it very funny, and couldn't help but want to tease her: Nurse Li, you put my tableware wrong, it should be left fork and right knife.

Li Xuemei is Thomas' full-time nurse, because she is the only one in this hospital and can understand a little English.

She picked up the knife and fork again, blocked Thomas's sight with her body, then gestured towards Liu Qingshan with a small fork, and said in a low voice, Remember to obey the rules and not lose face in front of foreign guests.

Liu Qingshan smiled and winked at her, while Li Xuemei gave him a fierce look.

She couldn't understand it: the clothes on her body were all patched. Isn't this a joke for foreigners?

When I went back to my home country and shouted, I thought that our country was so poor, and I lost my face abroad!

At this time, Thomas had already picked up a bottle of sober red wine: My doctor told me that drinking less red wine is good for the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Qingshan and blinked narrowly: It's a pity, Liu, you must not be old enough to drink, so I specially prepared juice for you.

Red wine from Chateau Lafite Bordeaux!

Liu Qingshan was very angry: I didn't drink Maotai in 1982, and Lafite in 1982 was not allowed to drink. You are all deliberately greedy for me, right?

He stood up directly, walked over, and snatched the bottle: No, Thomas, no matter what kind of wine it is, as long as it contains alcohol, it will irritate the blood vessels.

So, as your friend, for the sake of your health, I will keep this bottle of red wine for you. Please rest assured that half of my juice will definitely be given to you.

Of course Thomas refused to do it, and tried to fight back, and then heard an angry shout from the side:

Put it down, how can you rob foreign guests!

The two looked over at the same time, and saw Li Xuemei, the little nurse,

His face was flushed with anger, and his big eyes were staring at Liu Qingshan.

After all these months, I can still understand simple words. Thomas was taken aback and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Li Xuemei quickly explained: Mr. Thomas, I'm talking about him.

Thomas shrugged. No, beautiful nurse Jay, we're just joking between friends. Just kidding, you understand, it's going to promote our friendship.

Yes, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs! Li Xuemei felt a little wronged, so she could only goug out Liu Qingshan angrily.

After this little episode, the two took their seats again and slowly sipped the wine.

Liu Qingshan finally got his wish, but his sixteen-year-old body has not yet been tested by alcohol, so he feels a little floating when he drinks.

Looking at Liu Qingshan's elegant posture, Thomas couldn't help but praise: Liu, you are simply a gentleman.

There was still a word in his heart that he didn't say: like a prince dressed as a beggar, the elegance in his bones will not be changed by ragged clothes.

It was indeed a pleasant lunch. Taking advantage of the wine, the conversation between the two became more and more harmonious, and the conversation became faster and faster. Li Xuemei's head was so big when you heard me say it.

Liu Qingshan also learned that Thomas is an automotive engineer and is affiliated with AMC. This time he came to fight the front station.

Because his company intends to cooperate with the First Automobile Factory, he is here to inspect the equipment and production capacity.

Now, the task has been successfully completed, and I can return to my country next month to be reunited with my family.

AMC?

Liu Qingshan recalled in his mind: GM, Ford and Kleist, these are the three giants of the American automobile manufacturing industry.

As for this AMC, I am not very impressed. I just know that it has been brilliant before, but I don't know what happened, and it was acquired later.

By the late 1980s, it had completely disappeared from the market.

Liu, look, this is a car I designed. This is my proud work.

Thomas probably drank a little too. He took out a car magazine, turned one page, and showed off to Liu Qingshan: Look at this streamlined model, it's like a work of art.

Is it okay for you to brag about yourself like that?

Liu Qingshan pouted, the shape of this car is too ugly in his eyes, why don't he look at the blonde beside the car.

At least the lines are more aesthetic than the car.

It was probably because Liu Qingshan didn't care, and because he was drinking a little too much, Thomas put down his cutlery: Liu, I am an expert in car manufacturing, you are an amateur, and an amateur is not qualified to laugh at an expert.

This is absolutely true. When it comes to engines and wiring, Liu Qingshan really doesn't know anything about it.

But he has a vision, and he is decades ahead. I am afraid that Thomas will not be able to catch up in his life.

So Liu Qingshan calmly wiped the greasy corners of his mouth with a table cloth, and said solemnly: Mr. Thomas, with all due respect, this design is not very good in my opinion.

Hearing this, Thomas couldn't accept it at all. He stood up immediately, leaning on the table with both hands: Liu, it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to drink, you should go to bed and wake up the bar, Ok?

This time, Li Xuemei panicked. The two of them were talking well just now, and they were chatting and laughing.

It must be this stinky boy who doesn't understand the rules, who made the foreign guests angry.

So she hurried forward, tugged at Liu Qingshan's sleeve and muttered, Don't hurry up and apologize to the foreign guests!

Apologize, why apologize?

Liu Qingshan ignored him and asked for Thomas's pen, swoosh, and drew on the car magazine.

Soon, a rough model was sketched, right next to the one Thomas designed.

Then he held up the magazine and shook it at Li Xuemei: Look, which car looks good?

Li Xuemei is an honest person, she raised her finger and pointed to the sketch Liu Qingshan had just drawn: This one looks better!

When Thomas heard the words, he couldn't help but come closer, and then he couldn't move his eyes any longer. While admiring, he exclaimed in his mouth:

Wow, God, this shape is an epoch-making design.

Liu, I'm sorry, I underestimated you, your design is so wonderful!

Now, Thomas is completely convinced, and compared with others, what is the thing he designed, and it is also assigned to children as toy cars.

For a while, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he couldn't help but say, Liu, can I use the model you designed, and can I pay you the design fee?

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: We are friends, aren't we? So, don't talk about money..

This kind of design, in the future, will be grabbed a lot, but it is not a big deal.

No no no, friends are friends, wealth is wealth.

Thomas' concept is different from Liu Qingshan's, and he can feel that there must be more ingenious ideas in this young man's mind.

If he wasn't too young, he even wondered if the other party might be the chief designer of a big car company and come here to entertain him?

Liu, it's unbelievable that in your country with a very backward auto industry, there is a design genius like you.

Thomas is still sincere, and it's hard to hold back in his heart if he doesn't say these words.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, My friend, my country is developing rapidly, and within a few decades, it may become the world's largest automobile consumer.

So if you cooperate with us, it is definitely a wise choice!

Okay, Liu, I will consider your words carefully and report it to the company.

Thomas didn't even eat, he pulled Liu Qingshan and began to discuss the design details of the car.

Before I knew it, the afternoon had passed like this.

Looking at the time, Liu Qingshan spread his hands: Okay, Thomas, I have to bring dinner to Grandpa.

Only then did Thomas put down the pen reluctantly, and then took out milk, bread, sausages and ham from the refrigerator, and stuffed them all into Liu Qingshan's arms.

Liu, don't worry, when the new car is built, I will definitely give you one!

Thomas, take a good rest first!

For this, Liu Qingshan didn't take it to heart at all, he got up with his things in his arms and left with a smile, followed by an angry Li Xuemei.

Of course, she didn't make a special trip to see off guests, but wanted to give this guy a good political lesson.

How can it be like this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com eats and drinks for nothing, and finally takes it for nothing, it's so shameful!

As soon as he arrived at the stairs, Liu Qingshan was grabbed by the arm, and there was a coquettish shout: How can you ask for something from a foreign guest, it will be laughed at by others!

Looking at the puffy bun face, Liu Qingshan blinked: When did I have another sister?

Miss, you are too lenient, aren't you?

It feels like when he was a child, the eldest sister and the second sister in the family were taking care of him.

If Liu Qingshan was a teenager in the rebellious period, he would definitely have to challenge him, but in terms of his current state of mind, he just thought it was quite interesting.

So he replied: Mr. Thomas and I are good friends. This is a small gift from good friends. Have you never received a gift from a friend?

you……

Li Xuemei was at a loss for words. For a while, she couldn't say anything about this slick guy. After all, people can chat and laugh with foreign guests. In the end, she could only say angrily: Anyway... I won't allow it anyway!

Liu Qingshan glanced at her and said lightly: Why should I listen to you, who are you? Is it my sister or mine...

You...you bastard!

Li Xuemei stomped her feet vigorously, shook her pigtails, turned around and ran upstairs, her face flushed red.

She had never seen such a shameless person before, and she was secretly ruthless: You just pray that you don't get sick. If it falls into my hands and doesn't tie your butt into a sieve, my nursing profession will be nothing to learn!

Liu Qingshan didn't care about her, and walked happily to grandpa's ward.

These are good things, just for the old man to supplement nutrition.
